 Works Great November 8, 2005

I have six cats and the oldest isn't really happy with all the new additions. Using Feliway has been a big help. It has stopped him from spraying when he got mad at us for bringing in others. I have two units in my house, at one time I had three plug-ins and tried to only have one, but that didn't work. Wish it wasn't so costly, but it works. Don't buy in a local pet store, they charge almost double. Buy on-line.
I Wish I'd Bought Feliway A Long Time Ago... May 17, 2006

To the Feliway product description information above, I would also add, "Aids in calming cats...who manage stressful chronic health conditions."
My 4yr. old neutered male cat manages several chronic health conditions, which at times create seemingly unrelated behavioral issues, when flare ups occur that jangle his nerves. When his IBD is not well controlled, my otherwise angelic cat becomes stressed out & does deadly things - chewing through power cords, consuming inedible objects, eating plants untouched for years, climbing to & jumping/falling from extremely high places aggravating his arthritis, & more. When he's not feeling well, acting-out is his way of externalizing his bad nerves & telling me, "I don't feel well, help me".
So I bought a Feliway Diffuser for him for his birthday a few weeks ago, & the change in my cat's behavior was noticeable within the first few hours after plugging it in. Initially, I noticed a personality change - sort of a mellowing effect, reflecting a more leveled out & increased general sense of well-being. I see less lethargy, & more interest in social interaction, his environment, & play. It's a subtle overall field effect, but his happiness & joy somehow seem happier. I've noticed I've had an easier time with giving him his regular medications & brushing his teeth. It's a synthetic feline facial pheromone, but I call it "the airborne feline prozac"... And without putting more chemicals into his system that don't belong in the body, & their problematic side effects. My cat seems to appreciate the general change in the overall atmosphere of his home, & occasionally, he even sleeps underneath the diffuser.
The benefits my cat experiences also pass on to me - because if he is less stressed & upset, & doing fewer life threatening things in reaction to his nerves - then I'm less stressed out as well. I'd rather buy him Feliway, than spend money on veterinary visits & additional medication to deal with new problems he creates when he's stressed. And there have been a lot of them.
Feliway contains an odorless oil by human standards, & it does not upset my cat's severe asthma or allergies, nor my own more moderate conditions. In fact, I am wondering that if he's less stressed out psychologically - & in turn physiologically - if there might even be less asthma & less digestive upset due to a reduction in the cycle of internalized stress. And if it improves his overall quality of life, I'd much rather buy him peace instead of more doctors...
I live in a small 1 person unit, & 1 diffuser does seem to cover the entire place. I unplug ours when the window is open, & plug it back in when it's closed, while I sleep or am away, & any time I think he might benefit from it. The plastic bottle can be unscrewed from the plug-in unit & recapped to preserve it until your next use. This may help to extend the 6 week life span recommended in the packaging information, we'll find out. I would also add that the diffuser gets warm, but not hot to the touch, & certaintly not hot enough to burn a hand or singe a whisker or fur. I have handled the diffuser many times during use, & I have no fear of allowing my cat to be directly near it.
The only negative aspect of this product so far as I can determine is how much you'll want to kick yourself for waiting to buy it for long as you did... As a pet store employee recently told me, "It is one of the few behavior mod products for cats on the market that actually does work." While there is no substitute for building & maintaining a solid, trusting relationship with your pet - or for seeking competent veterinary care - Feliway does seem like it could be a great adjunct to it.
Feliway gets 2 Thumbs & Paws Up from kitty & me. =^..^=

I used Comfort Zone when I moved and my 7 cats (2 feral!) were able to handle being kept indoors for 3 weeks so that they would get use to the new surroundings. Usually they could not stand to be next to each other. During this time a friend was visiting me (a half way mark) on her way from Seattle to Los Angeles! Her cat was very distressed after being in her carrier for hours (with a few stops). My friend did not want to let her out because she hissed and growled most of the trip. I told her to set the carrier next to the Comfort Zone and within 15 minutes her cat walked out of the carrier to eat and use the litter box. She was in shock! Later that afternoon we visited the local pet store and bought the spray and defuser for the rest of her trip. Great stuff!
Noticeable Change, especially when the refill ran out! September 9, 2007

We initially bought this product about a month and a half ago in hopes of preventing one of our four cats from leaving "packages" on the carpet and other innapropriate non-litterbox places. We've been engaged in this battle with her for months, and every time anyone in the house so much as looks at her crosswise, she'd go find something to mark, including hopping on the counters and peeing on the toaster, or my purse etc. We'd already removed everything from floors she was previously using to register her protests but every time we'd remove something, she'd just find something new to target. Additionally our two half-oriental kitties were both showing signs of stress, such as overgrooming and one had asthma-like congestion. Apparently this sometimes happens to the oriental breeds when they are under stress.
We got three of these diffusers for our house, and though the change was somewhat gradual at first, the situation did really improve over the first 4 weeks. The last two weeks, when the diffuser was running low we noticed some backsliding with the one cat using the carpet again. As soon as we replaced the refills again, the issues stopped once more. Additionally, there have been many fewer conflicts between all four of the house's feline occupants, and the cat having the breathing problems has really improved. This product is fantastic!
Works for us! February 7, 2006

We recently bought a house that was previously inhabited by a cat who urinated all over the basement. Unfortunately for us, this brought out the worst in my normally litter trained cat. We found her urinating outside of the litter box on many occasions. After taking her to the vet and finding out that there was no medical reason for this, our vet recommended feliway. We have been using it for 3 months now and there are no problems, just a happy kitty!
